ATTENDANCE REMINDER - PLEASE READ!
Each day your child is going to be absent from school, you need to contact the office. Knowing where your children are is a safety issue. Please take the time to let us know when your child is absent from school. We will be following up with families who have not contacted the school when their child has been absent. Thank you to those who call in each day your child is absent from school. Please remember, if your child is going to be absent for more than one consecutive day, you need to fill out an extended leave of absence form.

HEALTHY HIGHLIGHTS
Trick or treating is one of children's greatest excitements, and if we are honest, perhaps it was one of our childhood highlights as well. I know you have all heard these things before but since they could save a life, it is worth repeating:
1. Wear or carry something reflective. We are rural and walking house to house can be dangerous. People in cars have their hands full too, but remember to buckle up each and every time.
2. Check your students "loot". What are you looking for? Something that just does not look right, a wrapper that is loosened, odd shapes or anything coming out of the candy.
3. Candy is fun to get, look at, and eat...however it is not the best choice for snacking, so limit the amount they have and please remember how important brushing the teeth becomes when ingesting candy.
4. There are dentists in the area that do take candy as an "exchange" (I have heard it called "candy buy back.")
5. Please limit the amount you send to school with your student. The sugar does cause an increase in energy and trying to sit still in a classroom and learn on a belly full of candy OR ride the bus becomes very difficult.
6. Lastly, listen to their stories, it may seem simple and mundane, but hearing what they have to share is so important, they are excited to share. ~ Nurse Sherwood
HEALTH UPDATE:
HEAD LICE: It is very common to return to school in the fall and have head lice present. However, right now I am seeing a bit more than usual. PLEASE check your child's head perhaps every few days for a while, AND maybe "pony tails" in long hair could be the new fashion statement for a few weeks? ~Nurse Sherwood

PATTEN FREE LIBRARY HAUNTED HOUSE
This year, the Teen Library Council of Patten Free Library is teaming up with the Solar Star Masonic Lodge to create the creepiest haunted house tour ever. On Sunday, October 27, from 6-9 p.m., the Solar Star Lodge will open its doors at 968 Washington Street for the event. The Teen Library Council (including Woolwich residents Lora LaRochelle, Lucas Blaiklock, Oscar Hennin, Natalie Emmerson, Nina Ryan) will stage 20-minute guided tours of the “Plague House” for all who dare to cross the threshold. Three floors of horror! You can reserve a tour time through the Information Desk at the Library (443-5141, ext. 12, or pflreference@patten.lib.me.us) We can accommodate tour groups of up to five people per tour. Recommended for middle school and up.
